Anyone got any recommendations for higher tempo (140-150bpm type range) house and techno? Started mixing again recently and having a lot of fun at this sort of tempo. Mostly Midwest techno and acid and some higher tempo ghetto house so far but looking to branch out.

Then Rest Yr Troubles Over Me is pulling me right back out again. I think I just don’t really like the aesthetic of his ‘ambient’ work - it’s unsettling and the sound design is impeccable, but… I just don’t really enjoy this style.

I personally love the way those tracks never quite feel settled and leave you a little on edge! I could easily imagine it as the sound track to a horror film or something.

The album’s a nice evolution of the current deconstructed, hyper-designed PAN sound - the recent releases from Eartheater, Amnesia Scanner, Puce Mary, have all been excellent but this seems a step above even those.

Emerging after another Berlin weekend. Returned to the infamous Snax party at the Berghain on Saturday evening (where the Lab part of the club takes over the Berghain and a lot goes down ) - was incredible. Few hours sleep then went back for the Sunday afternoon with Ellen Allien at Berghain, who I’ve sort of gone off in recent years but she played a really upbeat set which was the pick me up I needed followed by Âme, Virginia, Todd Edwards and Honey Dijon at Panorama Bar. Left eventually about 2am, when Honey was just getting warmed up as was dead on my feet. amazing weekend, as ever and have had the usual google of Berlin job adverts this morning like a massive cliche.
